The experts of the institute analyzed the latest massive combined attacks in Ukraine. They noted that the Russian military used more dense concentration of missiles in recent blows. In addition, various media reports indicate that the Russian defense industry is building its facilities for the production of missiles and drones.
The growth in the production of missiles and drones is probably allowed Russia to continue to apply more and more large -scale blows in Ukraine in the fall of 2025, the report said. ISW previously evaluated that Russian forces will be able to strike at Ukraine up to 2 thousand drones in one night by November 2025, if the current tendency for the night use of Russian drones will continue.
All larger packages of Russian shots emphasize the critical importance of Western assistance in strengthening the capabilities of the air defense of Ukraine, especially using American -made Patriot air defense systems that can effectively resist the threats of Russian ballistic missiles.
The report also states that Russia is increasingly striking on densely populated Ukrainian cities. According to analysts, the goal of the Russian Federation is the weakening of Ukrainian determination and undermining the long -term defense capabilities of Ukraine.
